The Latin manuscript "Septem Sermones ad Mortuos", written by Jung in 1916, holds a unique and somewhat mystical position in Jung's oeuvre. It was conceived during a time of intense introspection and self-exploration, a period that Jung described as his "confrontation with the unconscious." During this time, Jung was in contact with Hermann Hesse, who integrated many Jungian themes into his own works, especially the novel "Demian", which explores the uber-deity Abraxas. Written during a period of intense personal introspection, Seven Sermons to the Dead is a mystical and philosophical text in which Jung channels the ancient Gnostic teacher Basilides. The sermons address profound existential and psychological questions, exploring themes such as the nature of God, the dualities of good and evil, and the role of the unconscious in spiritual transformation.
